AJ continues to trend upward, showing clear growth in both his finishing and rebounding production. His improved footwork and quickness are allowing him to contribute in multiple areas of the game, not just as a scorer. He brings a strong physical presence, using his strength to establish position and dominate his space on the floor.

A big man with a soft touch and growing confidence in the 12–15 ft range, he anchors the defense with a strong understanding of weak-side rotations. He has excellent feel for the game and is starting to play more aggressively, making an impact on both ends of the floor.

Cox continues improving. The 6-foot-9 forward has become an anchor for Clarke Central, a team off to a 5-3 start after going winless a season ago. Andrea is averaging 13.1 points and 13.7 rebounds. Cox has added muscle to his frame and is becoming stronger at playing through contact. All the natural tools are there to really take off in college as he has terrific length and is bouncy off the floor.

Andrea is a 6’9″ forward with a soft touch around the rim. As his frame continues to fill out, he brings increased assertiveness, confidence, and aggressiveness. Watching him, it’s clear he’s relatively new to basketball, but he plays with an undeniable attitude. He is a vocal communicator and a strong presence on the back line of the defense. An excellent rebounder who is starting to finish with authority, he is a low-risk, high-reward type of player showing noticeable improvements. With continued development in his footwork and defensive reads, AJ has the potential to become a true matchup nightmare at his position.

A long, athletic big man, Cox continues to gain confidence and consistency in his interior role. He is an energetic rebounder who covers ground quickly and protects the rim with natural timing as a shot blocker. Offensively, he has started to establish a foundation with a quick drop step and soft turnaround jumper, both of which hint at expanding polish. Cox’s length and mobility allow him to elevate rapidly for finishes at the rim. With steady progression, he is beginning to trend toward reaching his high ceiling.
